THE EVERBLOOMING ROSES 
The Hybrid Teas (designated hereafter by the letters HT) include the major part 
of this list, resulting from crosses between the tender Tea Roses and the ruggedly hardy 
Hybrid Perpetual garden Roses. They supply the widest range of beauty in color and 
form, of fragrance and fine habit, and if nurtured and protected as recommended in this 
catalogue, are completely dependable. 
The Pernetiana Roses (designated hereafter by the abbreviation Per.) are a 
relatively new class, mostly resulting from the generation of effort placed upon combina¬ 
tions between other Hybrid Teas and the brilliantly colored Austrian Brier type by Mons. 
Pernet-Ducher, a devoted French hybridizer. They supply the tints of yellow, salmon, 
orange and flame-crimson not otherwise found, and are characterized not only by beauty 
and color of blooms, but usually by good fragrance and by deep green leathery foliage. 
They have a certain susceptibility to the “black spot” disease, which, however, can be 
successfully controlled by following the directions given on page 6. 
The Tea Roses (designated hereafter by the letter T) are the basis of the everbloom- 
ing class, and are primarily the earlier development of varieties from the more tropical 
forms that bloom on the wood of the current year. They include some of our Tinest and 
most desirable varieties, and they can be carried over comfortably by protective treatment 
just a little more complete than that given the Hybrid Teas. The first Tea Roses came 
from China the latter part of the eighteenth century. They were first introduced by 
Guillot in 1873 crossing between Climbers and Rosa indica. 
The Polyantha Roses, which actually deserve the designation of “everblooming” 
more than any other Roses, are treated separately on page 40. 
All these Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10, for strong field-grown plants, except where otherwise priced
